January isn't our favourite month here at the Roundhouse Guesthouse for several reasons. Firstly, all the tourists leave in early January and return to their respective parts of the country. Secondly, the cage diving industry enters its low season (for more information on the cage diving seasons, please check this post) and thirdly, the whales leave.
The Southern Right and Humpback whales leave our coastline and make their way back to the Antarctic to feed now, and a quick look out to sea will reveal that every one of them has left. They return in June typically, but it always feels like a long wait for their return. From June till December, the lazy whales basking in along our shores becomes a visual staple for tourists and locals alike. When they leave with their recently birthed young, it feels like a little bit of Gansbaai is leaving with them.
On the plus side, its the perfect time to go see a behemoth of the sea that shares their name, the Whale shark. Scuba Mozambique will tend to your needs and wants efficiently, so you can see and dive with the magnificent Whale shark as soon as you want to. We often refer our guests to them since their staff are always so lovely and helpful. We hope they provide as memorable service to you and they do to us year in and year out.
